South Korea, Samsung headquarters.
The conference room was packed with directors and supervisors from every department of the mobile electronics business. At the head of the table sat Gao Zhendong, the head of Samsung Electronics' mobile division.
His task was to make Samsung's phone business generate more revenue for the Samsung Group.
However, revenue had been poor in recent years. After the Note 7 battery explosion incident, Samsung phones' market share had fallen again and again.
In the Huaxia market, Samsung phones' market share had dropped to rock bottom. Aside from the recall incident, where their discriminatory treatment of Huaxia consumers had caused Huaxia users to lose trust in them, there was also the impact of the THAAD Incident. Most importantly, domestic Huaxia phone manufacturers had risen to prominence.
First, Huawei Micro and Big Rice carved up the mid-to-high-end market, while Honor, Oppo, and others devoured the low-end market. Now, another troublesome opponent had emerged—Ant Army Company.
It was the strongest competitor in the high-end market. An Intelligent Assistant had advanced phones by an entire generation, ushering phones into a truly intelligent era.
If Ant Army Company entered the international market, it would be a devastating blow to Samsung's phone business. Apple and Huawei Micro were already attacking them from both sides. If Army Ant joined in as well, their position might not survive.
Fortunately, Ant Army had failed to internationalize, and now was the perfect opportunity to launch their phones.
Huaxia was an enormous market, and Samsung did not want to lose it. This time was their chance to make a comeback.
Gao Zhendong swept his gaze around the conference room and spoke. "Production department, have people speed up Note 10 production. The display division will cut off OLED screen supplies to Ant Army Company and reduce OLED screen
